When you say that you recovered it right away and took off again, this was all in one day?

I can't help but imagine that if you landed with no covering on the bottom of the elevator that the wood in the elevator probably got wet. Putting covering right back on without letting it dry completely would have steamed the water up and probably caused the wood to move (warp). Even letting it dry for a few days, wet wood will have a tendency to move. That could be the cause of the trim changes.
